Grading in PE - 3rd - 8th

Daily Performance Grade:

The majority of a student’s grade is derived from their daily active participation in the gymnasium. For this reason, students need to actively participate in all class activities to earn credit towards their grade. In order to participate, students need to be dressed appropriately for physical activity, this includes proper footwear. Students can then maximize their daily grade through active participation, engagement in skill development, and demonstration of appropriate social behaviors (respect, sportsmanship, etc.).

Fitnessgram Testing Components

5 Components of Physical Fitness

-Cardiovascular Endurance

-Muscular Strength

-Muscular Endurance

-Flexibility

-Body Composition

The following will be completed this week during out fitness testing. We will test now, mid year and then a final time at the end of the year.

PACER TEST

-Measures Cardiovascular Endurance

-Objective: Run as long as possible back and forth across a 20 - meter space at a specified pace that gets faster each minute

CURL-UP

-Measures muscular strength and endurance

-Objective: Complete as many curl-ups as possible up to a max of 75 at a specified pace

PUSH-UP

-Measures muscular strength and endurance

-Objective: Complete as many push-ups as possible at a rhythmic pace

My goal by the end of the year is that all of my students being tested are within the health fit zones for all areas. We work on all of these areas as well as flexibility everyday during class. All of my students are working very hard to achieve these goals!!!

National PE Standards

SHAPE America's National Standards & Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education define what a student should know and be able to do as result of a highly effective physical education program.

Reminder for the parents: Students must have sneaker in order to participate. Many students wear boots or dress shoes to school so please remind them to bring their sneakers.

Please remind your children about proper attire for PE class. In order for them to participate they must be wearing sneakers, 5th & 6th Graders must be wearing pants or shorts. If they don't have the proper attire they will not be able to participate due to safety reasons.

If you have any questions you may reach me by email at lglass@csd.sau7.org

According the CDC, children should be getting 60 minutes of physical activity on a daily basis. Please encourage your children to be as active as possible. It will benefit them greatly, at school and at home!
